In a world devastated by a failing ozone layer, the privileged few live in domed Ozone Cities—artificial sanctuaries with clean air, wealth, and security—while the rest of humanity struggles to survive in the toxic wastelands beyond. Dr. Elara Hayes, a brilliant but disillusioned scientist, has spent years scavenging forgotten technology in hopes of reversing the planet’s decline. When she discovers a long-buried device capable of purifying the air, she realizes she holds the key to saving those abandoned outside the domes.
